Did you sharpen this knife? I have only sharpened one long knife, had to clamp in multiple locations. Take time in making sure you clamp in the proper locations to keep bevels even and blend the overlap slowly and carefully. The knife I did was not near that long. I have sharpened a dagger and I had to use blue tape to build up the clamping area.

I was trying to rig up a way to wicked edge my axes and I saw this company had an ax sharpening system. It was mode expensive than I was willing to spend, but after looking into it they sell just the magnetic jig for just about 50 bucks. I was going to spend 50 at home depot to try and build something so I picked it up. I got a 3′ piece of no. 10 all thread and cut it to the length I needed and used the belt sander to take the threads off the top end so it would slide through the jig easily. I had to use some aluminum duct tape to build up the rod a bit where the wicked edge stone goes so it would fit snug. A jam nut set up on both sides holds it in place and it seems to work great. I spent a bit of time list night trying to re profile this ax to 25 degrees, I am almost to the apex. This ax was a rusty piece of crap and it went over night in evapo rust and then I sanded it up to 3000 grit. It was pretty polished when done so Im looking to see just how polished a edge I can put on it. Im thinking 25 degrees with a 28 degree MB.
